Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) continue negotiations.

The union is demanding higher wages, better medical benefits and changes to the postal service’s use of temporary workers.

Canada Post on Sunday said it provided the union with a “comprehensive framework for reaching negotiated agreements”.

The chair of Canada Post's board warned in August that the organization’s financial situation is “unsustainable” The union is also asking for a guaranteed 40-hour work week , meal and rest periods, 10 paid medical days , a cost of living allowance and other benefits.

Canada has been seeing a round of “catch up bargaining” between unions and employers, with wages stagnating.

“This is about our public institutions and we have to ask ourselves what kind of post office do we want? What kind of things can the post office do for us, whether it be postal banking or senior check ins that really provide benefits for for people and keep this institution secure for the future?”.
